We put the pan back onto the 1275, but cannot go further until I have
the proper gaskets. I will not make them out of silicone!!
So, in the interim, we took the 1098 apart. The problem we found, in the
removing the frozen pistons, is that there are sleeves on the back two
cylinders. One of the sleeves was moving when I was trying to pound the
piston out. What holds the sleeve still?
I want to build a motor for the Frogeye, to get it on the road, until
the 1275 is built. I have two guys helping me that are ready to try
almost all the trick Vizard recommends. One friend has access to a flow
bench, for us to use when we start the 1275. The 1098 with the frozen
piston, it was already punched out to 20 over (what is it with me
finding 20 over engines this weekend?) I have another 1098 block that
has only the rotating mass in it. Should I bore IT out to 20 over, or
should I re-sleeve the original block and keep going? Regardless of
which way I go, I will not need both cranks for one engine. Is there
anyone out there that needs a 1098 crank, flywheel, and front pulley? I
assume you would want the matching mass together? I could use some cash
for machine work!! BTW, both blocks are the 10 CC.
I need to take the 1098 head in for some valve work, but the factory
shop manual I have does not give valve stem diameter for the 1098
valves. It does give the stem diameter for the 1275. Are the 1098 and
1275 valves the same? If not, does anyone know the size of the 1098
valves?
I also need to get the gaskets for the front and back of both the 1275 I
worked on yesterday, and the 1098 I worked on today. Are the gaskets for
the plates, and oil pump basically the same, or do I need to get engine
specific gasket sets?? Peter, Paul, and Ed, anyone know?
That's it for this post.
Thanks to all the will respond.
